Drawn with an exaggerated, almost cartoonish cut, the meat-on-bone emoji looks like the drumstick a caveman would gnaw on. It's used for hearty, meaty meals and barbecue, and its prehistoric look makes it a favorite for jokes about eating like it's the Stone Age.
What ð means
An animated whiteish bone with two rounded heart-shaped structures on each end and a round cylindrical chunk of meat shaded in brown on the outside and reddish on the inside.
The ð Meat on Bone emoji signifies a sense of having character and substance, instead of being 'all bone and no meat'. It can also suggest better taste, added flavor, and nutrition, of course.
How and when to use it
- Considering the famous phrase of having some 'meat on the bones', you can use ð while talking about substance in someone or something. For instance, "Aye, that movie was so good! Finally, some meat on bones after such a long ass time of watching faffy films ð".
- Or, ð can be used while talking about the lack of substance too - like "Yo, yo, yo. Listen. That presentation was absolute nonsense okay? No fkn meat on any bone what a waste of my time! ð". (unleash your inner Gordon Ramsay for all the things you love the most).
- Setting 'meat on bones' aside, ð can also signify a sense of being 'meaty' - which means the same as the former phrase. For example, "Dude, did you see him?! He not only brains but meaty too ð".
- Slowly sinking into the dirty corner of the ð emoji (with the previous emoji being a slight prelude), it can also be used to refer to your body or someone else's in sexual contexts (if you don't get it, then, you're not old enough to use this emoji in that context).
